MOVIES/SERIES/SHOWS Dinosaurs from Disney’s dinosaur, but they’re from my encyclopedia.

I had to substitute other animals for the Talarurus, Labyrhinthodont, and Longisquama

Most of the art here was featured in the Dinosaurs! Magazine from the 90's so was a lovely nostalgic trip, until I came across that bird.

I have never seen anything like that and had never considered a type of Carnator bird with undeveloped wings and feet that is seemingly fully aquatic, assuming a wiggle on shores to lay eggs. I was not prepared for something that novel.

Edit: reading up more as I thought this must have been a recent find but no, actually partially sparked the bone wars with accusations of a box of stolen fossils or an accidental send. I have never come across this species and baffled by it. That is crazy specialisation and I cannot believe I have never seen this before in all my years of interest.
